At today’s Liaison Committee, Keir Starmer couldn’t guarantee the Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill by Christmas, despite promises from Steve Reed and Matthew Pennycook MP. Are freeholders winning? Or is No10 accepting ground rents must fall to a peppercorn to end leasehold?

Painful from Keir Starmer at PMQs. Ruth Cadbury asks when the Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill will arrive … and he dodges with rental reform! Notice how the PM cannot bring himself to say his government will end leasehold, even though the The Labour Party manifesto promises it.

Parliament has been talking about abolishing leasehold since the 1880s. Enough! We’re not here to schmooze politicians. The Labour Party promised to end leasehold for good. Now they must deliver the will of the people or leave the property mafia in control.

Number 10 is stalling publication of the Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill, promised before Christmas, just to appease Big Freehold and their lobbyists. Don’t fall for the lies about pensions and global investors. On Times Radio, we call out the disinformation campaign.

Take liberation off your Christmas lists! On Thursday, Number 10 sided with grifters, blocking the draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill. The Labour Party cosying up to lobbyists and prolonging corrupt leasehold alienates flat-dwelling core voters ahead of the local elections.

Wow. Leasehold is THE subscription scam. On his first day taking questions in Parliament as PM, Andy Burnham promises Barry Gardiner MP, the stalwart of leaseholders, a Commonhold and Leasehold Bill this session. It’s core to Burnham’s attack on the cost-of-living crisis.

Leasehold is a medieval, outdated system. For millions of people, it's also a pretty raw deal. Labour promised to end it. Labour is delivering. Here's why it matters 🏠

WOW. Steve Reed has just been schooled on The Labour Party’s leaseholder betrayal by Gideon Amos OBE MP. The government has broken a manifesto and King’s Speech promise to enact the remaining Law Commission enfranchisement and Right to Manage policies in the draft Commonhold Bill. Why?

All the major parties have failed to rid England and Wales of leasehold. But Michael Gove is correct. In the 1990s, Labour promised compulsory commonhold on new-build flats and to delete marriage value. But when they got into power, they caved. Read here:

I’ve just been blocked by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook. My crime? Campaigning for fairer housing. Leasehold is a debt trap, destroys lives, and is decimating the flats market. The Labour Party promised to end it. Now they’re stalling... and silencing critics. Free Leaseholders

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 Fired up by the abject failure of the Queen’s Speech last year to introduce a Bill to liberate the estimated 10 million existing leaseholders, today we launch Commonhold Now to force an end to leasehold (and fleecehold) in the King’s Speech this November. (1/5)

This Labour government is ending the feudal leasehold system and easing cost of living pressures for millions of leaseholders across the country.

📢 PRIME MINISTER PROMISES COMMONHOLD MOVE 📢 Keir Starmer says he’s ending leasehold and reviving commonhold. BUILD, BABY, BUILD 🇬🇧 Steve Reed nodding along! Now what’s needed is to give this pro-growth agenda the urgency it deserves. Free the land, free the people.

LEASEHOLDERS KEEP BEING LOOTED UNDER The Labour Party🥀 At PMQs today, for the second week running, Keir Starmer was quizzed about the Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill he blocked before Christmas, breaking his government’s own deadline to publish in the second half of 2025. The Zack Polanski effect. But a Draft Bill being published isn’t victory. We need assurances that the legislation will be prioritised onto the statute books and commenced IN FULL with the 2024 Act, which sits rusting, well ahead of the next general election. We’ll be watching closely. What will this The Labour Party government actually do to END leasehold, as the manifesto promised, for those of us already trapped? We need bold structural change to abolish leaseholding. Minor tweaks or regulating managing agents will not cut it. Nor will weird ECHR legalism. Slash money-for-nothing ground rents to peppercorn, or zero. Your party pushed for this in opposition. Now, with a massive parliamentary majority, you can deliver it for the working people you claim to represent. Sweep away the barriers to freehold acquisition to enable a mass shift to commonhold. The silence on the enfranchisement consultation, which was meant to take place last summer to make it cheaper and easier for leaseholders to extend leases and buy out the freeholds but did not happen, is very worrying. This is a core part of the 2024 Act. Matthew Pennycook MP may dismiss us as “the usual naysayers”, but we will not back down or be silenced. As he once said of the last government: “too long to wait”.

💰STOP LOOTING LEASEHOLDERS💰 Our founder told Keir Starmer last night he must prioritise ending leasehold. Let’s be honest, the announcement has fallen flat. Leasehold IS a cost of living emergency. We don’t have 5 more years! Publish Draft Bill now. Enact in 2nd Session.
